McCaslin’s Snags Pass In Third Quarter and Gallops For Second Score.
RALLIES FEATURE PRE-GAME EXCITEMENT
BY BILL FOOTE (Sport Editor)
The Trojan \\ ar Flag still waves from Bovard Tower, waves a glorious tribute to the Fighting Sons of Troy, victors over the mighty Golden Bears from California in a thrilling battle at the Coliseum in which eighty-five thousand witnessed in deepening shadows the 1927 California ‘‘wonder team’’ go down to defeat by a 13 to 0 count.
California’s Golden Bear, a dangerous beast at bay, fought desperately, but the Trojan team, led by Captain Morley Drury, were not to be denied, outplaying, outfighting, outwitting the much heralded Berkeley squad. Every man, a true son of Troy, battled the invaders throughout the contest, but from the ranks of the truly great stand out two men as the great heroes of the struggle. They are Captain Morley Drury, great in spirit, dauntless in heart and invincible in body, an inspiring leader, brainy quarterback and an outstanding all-around player, and Lowry McCaslin, who came through with superhuman efforts to outplay one of California’s greatest ends, and score one of the Trojan scores, filling the shoes of Charlie Boren, whose place he was taking, to perfection. Others were great but these two men shone with a lustre that overshadowed any of the other players on the field.

STAGE STARS ARE GUESTS
Edward Everett Horton and Lucille La Verne Present At Speech Banquet.
Edward Everett Horton and Lucille La Verne were both present as guests of the School of Speech at the banquet last Thursday. In addition Dr. and Mrs. von KieinSmid. Judge Bowen Bessie Beatty, Jack Black and Mr. and Mrs. Currier honored the students with their presenoe.
The tables were arranged in the form of a horseshoe and were decorated with sweet peas and fern. Baskets of gladiolas completed the effect. Music was furnished throughout the banquet by the Mu Phi Epsilon trio. The committee in charge consisted of Doris Johnson, Ethel Bickford, Lucille Taylor and Avalon Daggett.
Dr. von KieinSmid was the first speaker introduced by Miss Johnson. Miss Lucille La Verne was then presented and gave a short speech in spite of the fact that she had been ordered not to use her voice because of a severe cold. Among other things she stated that she believed that every play should have a definite purpose. She hopes that her latest production, “Salt Chunk Mary/’ will teach the public not to convict too readily on circumstantial evidence. “Salt Chunk Mary” is from the book, “You Can’t Win” by Jack Black. It is based on a chapter of Mr. Black’s own life. He and Miss Bessie Beatty are co-authors of the play.
Miss Beatty was the next speaker. She related some of her experiences as a student at Occidental.
Jack Black told the guests how he happened to turn criminal, how he had been convicted four times, had become an opium addict and had finally reformed at the age of 45 because someone had taken an interest in and been kind to him.
Edward Everett Horton’s speech was probably the most interesting to the students since he related some of his early experiences as a young actor. He also contrasted the old and new types of actors and audiences.
Judge Bowen, donor of the Bowen cup, expressed his pleasure in the way debating at S. C. had developed in the last few years. He reminded the students that the tryouts for the Bowen cup will begin next Monday and that the finals will be next Thursday.
Dean Immel of the School of Speech made a short address introducing Mr. Currier, wrho gives all his time and money to the university. Mr. and Mrs. Currier have established the Cur-reir foundation, the proceeds of which are to be used by the School of Speech.
The banquet concluded with the singing of Alma Mater.
SUBTLETY IS KEYNOTE
DRAMA SHOP TO PRODUCE ARIA DA CAPO
“Subtlety is the characteristic describing Aria da Capa, one of the threw plays to be presented on Nov. 3, by Drama Shop in Touchstone theatre.” remarked Mary Rose Borum, director of Aria da Capo.
“This play by Edna St. Vincent Millay, has been termed a fantasy, but it might be called a tragedy, or a comedy. The spectator may classify it to his own fancy and mood.” Miss Borum went one to give the synopsis of the play. “The scene opens on a stage set for comedy. Pierrot and
Columbine are rehearsing their part,
when Cathurnvs, Tragis Mask, enters. He complains that he can not do his act with such a setUng, but tbe other
two characters laugh at him, and re-
mark that it won’t matter. Shepherds appear and start playing a game, but they become depressed under the influence of Cathurnvs. Their game turns into a more serious occupation, and though they want to stop warring upon each other Tragedy will not let them. They kill each other with—let thf; audience find that out,” continued Miss Borum. “Pierrot and Columbine return to the stage, and history starts repeating itself again.”
Aria da Capo shows how close comedy and tragedy are related. It is only fitting that the other two plays to
be presented on the same evening should be a comedy by Booth Tarking-ton, “Travellers,” and a tragedy by Hildagarde Flanners, “Mansions.”

Archer, President of the Alumni Association.

Their appearance on the day of the speech of student prexy, Wright Morton, of California gives the advent an added significance. The substance of Morton’s speech was an ernest advocation of a typical western outlook for all colleges on the Pacific coast. The donning of the senior hats is a definite symbolic gesture in the direction suggested by Morton.
The wrearing of the senior hats is a tradition of long standing on this campus. The hats for this year are the regulation type and have a 192S band on them. This band is the only distinguishing feature of the hats from the sombreros of other years.
Harold Kispert, senior class president, urges all senior men to observe the tradition by buying their hats immediately. They can be had at Silver-wood’s, wTho have just received a shipment of Stetson’s. The price of the hats is $9.
AMES CUP WINNER TO GET TROPHIES
Moffitt And Woodard Awarded Cups As Winners Of Forensic Contest.
Under the auspices of Delta Sigma Rho, national honorary debating fraternity, finals for the E. Neal Ames Trophy Contest were held in Bovard Auditorium, Tuesday, at 8 p.m. The judges declared Bob Moffitt and Jack Woodard winners. Each will receive a perpetual silver cup.
The chairman of the evening was Mrs. E. Neal Ames, donor of the tro-phys, who gave a brief history of the contest and announced the subject for the competition which was as follows: Resolved, that capital punishment within the United States should be abolished.
The sophomores represented by Leo Adams, Clifford Weimer and Bob Moffitt upheld the affirmative side of the argument while the negative contentions were brought forward by Greg-son Bautzer, Jack Woodard and Gerald Thornton, freshmen. The contestants spoke in the order named with
constructive speeches of 8 minutes
and rebuttals of 4 minutes.
But 1 point separated Cliff Weimer from Bob Moffitt, sophomore winner, and but 1 point separated Gregson Bautzer from Jack Woodard, the winner for the freshmen. Other places were close, according to Mrs. Pearl Aiken Smith of the School of Speech and Walter F. Haussler, who acted as judges for the event. The judges voted preferentially, using the low-point system. 1
Homecoming game with Washington, December 3, in the Coliseum. The only certain thing known about this proposed creation is that it will be about twenty feet in height. When further queried, Henney declined to disclose the contents of the Wooden Horse, except to say that a surprise is in store for those who shall see this miracle come to pass.
Homecoming officially begins with the return of the football team from Chicago. It is not definitely known whether the band will accompany the team or not. If the band does go, the cost of the trip will have to come from outside the University. There is a movement on downtown to raise the necessary funds, and the Chamber of Commerce may sponsor the project.
Bovard field has been definitely secured for the freshman bonfire, and with the Wooden Horse as a new tradition, Homecoming will indeed be brilliant and spectacular, according to Burdette Henney, who is in charge of all arrangements.
COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE IS STARTED
City Wide Activity For Fund Be-Gins Officially Today; Rally
This Morning.
With the opening of the Community Chest campus appeal today, to last until Wednesday, S. C. students will be called upon to contribute their share toward the advancement of the cause of humanity in this, the City of Angels.
Never before has Southern California been given an opportunity like that now afforded it to show to the world, and Los Angeles in particular, the true meaning of the Spirit of Troy; the true extent of this University’s humanitarian generosity. To meet the S. C. quota, dollar contributions are needed; from those who can afford no more, anything over a quarter will be accepted. Student solicitors—Trojan Amazons, Knights, Squires and others —will be stationed today, tomorrow and day after tomorrow, on all parts of the Trojan campus to receive and ask for contributions. Every student is expected to give at least a quarter and every contribution will go to swell Southern California’s gift of honor to the Chest. From Bill Ruymann, chairman of the Community Chest committee, the message is to “give— give till it hurts.”
All Community Chest solictors on the campus will wear large buttons by which they may be identified. Whenever a student contributes, he will be given a similar small button which will distinguish him from those who have not yet contributed. Students are urged to wear their buttons every day of the campaign to prevent themselves from being approached more than once.
At the same time that Community Chest campus campaign is taking place, two hundred or more S. C. students will be serving as canvassers in divisions near the University, according to Dorothy Smith, in charge of the off-campus workers. A meeting of all who are to take part in the Community Chest appeal on or off (Continued on Page Four)
FAITH IN TEAM STRESSED BY WRIGHT MORTON
“No matter which school is^ the winner, whether California goes home the victor or the vanquished, the spirit behind it will be united. Not the spirit of California alone, nor of Southern California alone, but the great spirit of the West,” were the closing words of Wright Morton in his address to the students in the rally Friday morning.
“Two undefeated teams will meet In battle. And back of these two teams is the faith of California and 'Southern California, which is vested in two of the greatest coaches on the coast,” Coach Howard Jones who has developed “The Thundering Herd,” and Coach “Nibs” Price, “the Little Gereral.” Though not verbatim in context, that is the general trend of his talk.
“Fourteen thousand people from Berkeley are traveling to Los Angeles. Behind this great movement is not the love of the spectacular or the love of the crowd, but that of faith in the team,” was the message which Wright delivered to the students.
CO-EDS TO HONOR MOTHERS OF MEN ON VARSITY TEAM
Dinner To Be Given At Women’s Residence Hall, December 2, During Homecoming Week.
Honoring the mothers of the varsity football team and the wives of the coaches, including Mrs. Howard Jones, the women of the campus are entertaining with a dinner on Friday, Dec. 2. The affair will be carried out with cardinal and gold pom-poms as favors, while the songs and specialty numbers will be under the direction of Miss Helen Klene.
“Coming with Homecoming Week, it is hoped that this affair will bring together several of the alumnae w'o-men as well as the undergraduates,” is the statement of Miss Klene. Mrs. Rufus B. von KieinSmid, Mrs. Warren
B. Bovard, Dr. Mary Sinclair Crawford, and Mrs. Stowell, besides several prominent society women, will be guests at the affair. The women members of the campus honorary sororities will act as hostesses, although the dinner is open to all women students.
The affair is to be held at 6:30 in the Women’s Residence Hall with Helen Hill, Alda Mills, and Ruth Smith as the separate commTTtee chairmen.
ENTHUSIASM DISPLAYED IN RALLIES
Morning and Evening Demonstrations Prepare Students for Cal. Fracas.
Equal to the big game itself in 1 thrills and high-powered enthusiasm was the magnificent pep celebration, staged by the S. C. Rally committee and lasting throughout the entire Friday preceding the S. C.-Cal. game. The demonstration, made by members of both student bodies, was of such mammoth proportions as to outclass any previous exhibitions of enthusiasm in the history of Troy.
The ceremonies were opened at 10 o’clock Friday with the formal raising of the Trojan War Flag to its customary position on the tower of the Administration building where it fiuanted its challenge to the incoming northerners. Trumpeteers called the students to witness the ceremony which was accompanied by "To the Colors” and “Assembly.” "All Hail” was played as a fitting closing of the challenge.
Honoring the Cal. student boiTy prexy, Wright Morton, the first of the two great rallies was staged in Bovard auditorium at 11:00. Yell king Elmquist began matters by calling a rollcall of the various schools and colleges who gave evidence of their proportion of representatives by the volume of their yell. The Dents were quite in prominence.
Various popular selections were played by Dean McClusky’s Oregon Aggravators, who were well known to S. C. students from their reign at Balboa this summer.
Such an ovation greeted the northern prexy, Wright Morton, after his introduction by William Henley, as has been accorded few representatives of rival schools by any university. Morton’s speech confirmed the goodwill of the northern clollege, as evdienced by its reception of our president the week preceeding. He also emphasized the fact of the astounding number of persons, 14,000, coming from the north, as the largest group ever transported for such an event. His closing words, “whether victor or vanquished, let us all show, not the spirit of individual schools, but the spirit of the West” are characteristic of the attitude assumed by both the hosts and guests during the entire contest.
Songs from both California and S.C.
Tryouts for the second Drama Shop program ,to be presented Dec. 8, will te held today and tomorrow at 4:15 in Touchstone.
NOTICE
Members of Kappa Kappa Gamma will meet for luncheon at the Cottage Tea Room today noon.

An announcement of the new staff will be one of the many features of the Wampus which is to appear on the campus, Tuesday, Nov. 8, according to Bryant Hale, the editor.

interest to S. C. students. Some of the titles are: “Four S. C. Co-eds Abroad”, “President vou KieinSmid, Interna-toinalist;” "Up from the Ranks” a sport story; and “Largest in the World” a story of the Trojan band.

The deadline for the third Wampus of the year is Nov. 1. Contributions should be turned into Mr. Huse’s office or given to Bryant Hale on or before this date. Anything literary, humorous, or artistic will be given just attention by the editor and his staff.

Homecoming game with Washington, December 3, in the Coliseum. The only certain thing known about this proposed creation is that it will be about twenty feet in height. When further queried, Henney declined to disclose the contents of the Wooden Horse, except to say that a surprise is in store for those who shall see this miracle come to pass.
Homecoming officially begins with the return of the football team from Chicago. It is not definitely known whether the band will accompany the team or not. If the band does go, the cost of the trip will have to come from outside the University. There is a movement on downtown to raise the necessary funds, and the Chamber of Commerce may sponsor the project.
Bovard field has been definitely secured for the freshman bonfire, and with the Wooden Horse as a new tradition, Homecoming will indeed be brilliant and spectacular, according to Burdette Henney, who is in charge of all arrangements.
COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE IS STARTED
City Wide Activity For Fund Be-Gins Officially Today; Rally
This Morning.
With the opening of the Community Chest campus appeal today, to last until Wednesday, S. C. students will be called upon to contribute their share toward the advancement of the cause of humanity in this, the City of Angels.
Never before has Southern California been given an opportunity like that now afforded it to show to the world, and Los Angeles in particular, the true meaning of the Spirit of Troy; the true extent of this University’s humanitarian generosity. To meet the S. C. quota, dollar contributions are needed; from those who can afford no more, anything over a quarter will be accepted. Student solicitors—Trojan Amazons, Knights, Squires and others —will be stationed today, tomorrow and day after tomorrow, on all parts of the Trojan campus to receive and ask for contributions. Every student is expected to give at least a quarter and every contribution will go to swell Southern California’s gift of honor to the Chest. From Bill Ruymann, chairman of the Community Chest committee, the message is to “give— give till it hurts.”
All Community Chest solictors on the campus will wear large buttons by which they may be identified. Whenever a student contributes, he will be given a similar small button which will distinguish him from those who have not yet contributed. Students are urged to wear their buttons every day of the campaign to prevent themselves from being approached more than once.
At the same time that Community Chest campus campaign is taking place, two hundred or more S. C. students will be serving as canvassers in divisions near the University, according to Dorothy Smith, in charge of the off-campus workers. A meeting of all who are to take part in the Community Chest appeal on or off (Continued on Page Four)
FAITH IN TEAM STRESSED BY WRIGHT MORTON
“No matter which school is^ the winner, whether California goes home the victor or the vanquished, the spirit behind it will be united. Not the spirit of California alone, nor of Southern California alone, but the great spirit of the West,” were the closing words of Wright Morton in his address to the students in the rally Friday morning.
“Two undefeated teams will meet In battle. And back of these two teams is the faith of California and 'Southern California, which is vested in two of the greatest coaches on the coast,” Coach Howard Jones who has developed “The Thundering Herd,” and Coach “Nibs” Price, “the Little Gereral.” Though not verbatim in context, that is the general trend of his talk.
“Fourteen thousand people from Berkeley are traveling to Los Angeles. Behind this great movement is not the love of the spectacular or the love of the crowd, but that of faith in the team,” was the message which Wright delivered to the students.
CO-EDS TO HONOR MOTHERS OF MEN ON VARSITY TEAM

ENTHUSIASM DISPLAYED IN RALLIES
Morning and Evening Demonstrations Prepare Students for Cal. Fracas.
Equal to the big game itself in 1 thrills and high-powered enthusiasm was the magnificent pep celebration, staged by the S. C. Rally committee and lasting throughout the entire Friday preceding the S. C.-Cal. game. The demonstration, made by members of both student bodies, was of such mammoth proportions as to outclass any previous exhibitions of enthusiasm in the history of Troy.
The ceremonies were opened at 10 o’clock Friday with the formal raising of the Trojan War Flag to its customary position on the tower of the Administration building where it fiuanted its challenge to the incoming northerners. Trumpeteers called the students to witness the ceremony which was accompanied by "To the Colors” and “Assembly.” "All Hail” was played as a fitting closing of the challenge.
Honoring the Cal. student boiTy prexy, Wright Morton, the first of the two great rallies was staged in Bovard auditorium at 11:00. Yell king Elmquist began matters by calling a rollcall of the various schools and colleges who gave evidence of their proportion of representatives by the volume of their yell. The Dents were quite in prominence.
Various popular selections were played by Dean McClusky’s Oregon Aggravators, who were well known to S. C. students from their reign at Balboa this summer.
Such an ovation greeted the northern prexy, Wright Morton, after his introduction by William Henley, as has been accorded few representatives of rival schools by any university. Morton’s speech confirmed the goodwill of the northern clollege, as evdienced by its reception of our president the week preceeding. He also emphasized the fact of the astounding number of persons, 14,000, coming from the north, as the largest group ever transported for such an event. His closing words, “whether victor or vanquished, let us all show, not the spirit of individual schools, but the spirit of the West” are characteristic of the attitude assumed by both the hosts and guests during the entire contest.
Songs from both California and S.C.
Tryouts for the second Drama Shop program ,to be presented Dec. 8, will te held today and tomorrow at 4:15 in Touchstone.
NOTICE
Members of Kappa Kappa Gamma will meet for luncheon at the Cottage Tea Room today noon.

An announcement of the new staff will be one of the many features of the Wampus which is to appear on the campus, Tuesday, Nov. 8, according to Bryant Hale, the editor.

interest to S. C. students. Some of the titles are: “Four S. C. Co-eds Abroad”, “President vou KieinSmid, Interna-toinalist;” "Up from the Ranks” a sport story; and “Largest in the World” a story of the Trojan band.
There will be twice as much art work as ever before, says the editor, with three full page cartoons by well known campus artists, Harry Bowden, Bob Crosby and Marvin Connell. “Last but by no means least”, he adds, “the jokes are of an exceptionally high quality.”
The deadline for the third Wampus of the year is Nov. 1. Contributions should be turned into Mr. Huse’s office or given to Bryant Hale on or before this date. Anything literary, humorous, or artistic will be given just attention by the editor and his staff.
